Come out and enjoy an evening of laughter, knowledge, and enlightenment with the first installment of Black People Problems the Play, spearheaded by Wooly Productions! Synopsis: Black People Problems is a comedy that explores the notion that despite the abolishment of slavery years ago, slavery still exists in the minds of black people. The play centers around a dishonorably discharged military veteran and victim of racism who returns home to a family bible study instead of a welcome home bash. The veteran disrupts the bible study with her emotional experience and a deep discussion ensues about the problems that black people continue to face. An attendee blames everything on Willie Lynch. An intense discussion of the Willie Lynch letter ensues taking everyone on a journey through slavery and crucial black history events that the attendees didn’t learn about in school. They connect the dots to problems that black people still face today caused by slavery, such as colorism, economic injustice, gentrification, crime and mental enslavement.

Coaches are not required to be runners, they simply must be passionate about the mission of Girls on the Run, committed to working with a group of girls throughout the 10 week season and able to bring energy and joy to each practice! The Head Coach is a volunteer position that works with a team of coaches to facilitate the Girls on the Run curriculum to program participants. This position works closely with the Program Director and entails approximately 5 hours per week with additional time required on two to three weekend days for: a one day four hour training; a community race event; and for First Aid/CPR training, if necessary. The Assistant Coach is a volunteer position that assists the Head Coach(s) at a Girls on the Run program site. The position entails approximately 2 hours per week for 10 weeks. Assistant Coaches can choose to attend both program sessions per week OR commit to only one day a week. We ask each Assistant Coach to determine which schedule works best for them and to maintain that schedule throughout the program for consistency on behalf of the girls. While the Assistant Coach is not responsible for facilitating the Girls on the Run curriculum, they are there to support the Head Coach and program participants in many ways. This volunteer position may be used as a service learning project, internship, or other college credit project upon agreement of the college/university and Director.
